The IPHC missionary family extends its condolences to the family of Rev. Delbert Belcher. He, along with his wife, Sallie, served as missionaries to Mexico from 1972 to 1993. Rev. Belcher was committed to Kingdom expansion, and he did so through planting and constructing churches throughout Mexico, teaching in Bible schools, evangelizing, and mentoring upcoming leaders. In The Simultaneous Principle, Dr. Frank Tunstall recalls a portion of Rev. Belcher’s ministry:

“When starting a new work, Belcher would take young men from the Bible school with him to the selected target area, where they began having services in a house or rented building. Belcher put the young men to work, leading the singing and doing visitation. Then, with the approval of the conference, he would appoint one of them as pastor. Usually, Belcher would begin construction by the time the church had gotten off to a good start, using funds he raised in the U.S.”

World Missions Ministries is grateful to Rev. Belcher and his family for their service to the Kingdom and the IPHC as Career Missionaries. We honor his life and missionary/ministry legacy.
